Abstract

Using the 94 GHz — radiometers situated on board of a helicopter and on a measuring tower, there were investigated radiating properties of various surface types of soil and sea under their different states and season-weather conditions. The measurements were accompanied with controlling biogeophysical parameters of the surfaces and atmosphere. The plotted dependencies and the interrelations noticed in the process of discussion of the results of our work may be used when working out and estimating efficiency of the operation algorithms of the systems providing remote sensing of the surround medium.
